Vaccination-Induced Sarcoma


Nat, this handsome tabby cat, died of vaccine-induced fibrosarcoma. He underwent surgery last May, but the tumor returned, as it almost inevitably does, and grew behind his right rear leg. He wasn't in pain, until the end, but he was bewildered by this awkward lump and didn't understand why we couldn't help him. This is sometimes called vaccination-associated sarcoma, vaccine sarcoma, or vaccination-induced sarcoma. Please see the reading list in the previous post to find more information.
